Well, she also didn't want me to have a PS3, LCD TV, or a recliner. And I have all three

The school of hard knocks (usually landing on hard ground and/or rocks
). Started riding off-road before I was old enough to get a license. Started on an old Honda scooter of the 50cc variety, then started serious off-roading with a 125cc Kawasaki motocross bike, raced a little. Moved up in size and class. Once I got my drivers license (got both my car and motorcycle license the same day taking separate written and driving tests for the car and the bike, had a buddy following me to the MVA with his bike so I could take the test.) Then I discovered that chicks dig motorcycles so no more off-roading hello street bikes.

Funny thing is my wife absolutely HATES motorcycles, won't go near one won't watch when I ride off. When I bought my current bike my oldest daughter wouldn't speak to me for two days; my youngest daughter asked if I got her a new helmet to go with the bike.
I've got my license, but no bike yet. I'm still trying to decide what I want. My choices so far: HD Sportster Nightster, BMW CS650 or a Victory Vegas Low.
I took a 2 and a half day class at a local vocational school for $25 in August of 2007.
If this job thing goes well, I'll have one sooner rather than later.

Interesting - it seems to be a cross between a sport bike and a cruiser.
You've been riding a long time. It is way late in the game for me to try and learn, as I'm in my 40s.
Too funny about your wife. Does she worry about you when you ride? My dad told me if i ever wanted to kill myself, he'd get me a motorcycle - which is one reason I never learned to ride.
Sounds like at least you have one member of the family that'll ride with you though. Funny, I'm suppose to be the one getting my son to try new things, and he has me thinking about learning to ride
)) he was 67 years old everything about him was new. The bike was a 800cc Kawasaki crusier, all his protective clothing was new from his helmet down to his boots. The bike had 500 miles on it. He just completed the motorcycle course, had gotten his license, for the first time, two weeks earlier. He told me that he had always want to ride a bike but he agreed with his wife he wouldn't because of his parential responsibilty with the children. He looked at me and told me the last child left home 4 months earlier and now he was going to ride. I still see him every now and then just tooling along.
